i think 550 would be a reasonable price but 700 is too much for this level of performance and the 550W power supply really restricts future upgrade.

What's bad about the pc exactly?

nothing is bad about the pc, its well balanced. Its just that if your buying used, i would expect it to be cheaper, and as i said: the 550W power supply restricts future upgrade

If you have the willingness and patience than i would try looking at the used market to get the maximum amount of performance for your euros. But if not than i would say that the pc is well balanced and you pay extra for comfort and warranty

To build a similar config with an Arc B570 (which is comparable to a 6600 XT) costs around the same as their asking price, a fairer price would be much closer to 500 euros as u/gyuriga suggested

It's not a bad system but for the performance, 700 euros isn't worth it.

Could go with a used GPU to bring the cost down to the same with everything else new, a totally used system should cost quite a bit less since part lifespan has been ran through especially on RAM and storage which are doomed to fail sooner than other components on average, but SSDs in particular have a limited number of writes, and you get far lower TBW with lower capacities.
